Instructions
-
Select colored craft paper of your choice for the flower wreath. Trace the spiral patterns on the selected papers and cut them out nicely. Cut out enough spiral (1 spiral pattern for each flower) patterns to cover the whole wreath base.
-
Take any one of the spiral patterns and start to coil it from its outer side.
-
Continue to coil the spiral towards the center of the pattern.
-
Coil the entire spiral pattern tightly and allow it to loosen up at the end. Apply glue on the center part of the spiral.
-
Press the coiled part of the spiral pattern against the glued center to secure the coiled pattern.
-
Similarly, craft the rest of the spirals into flowers. Trace and cut out a round wreath base from cardstock paper.
-
Take the paper flowers and glue them on the wreath base.
-
Be sure you do not stick the flowers on the base randomly. You want to place the flowers very close to one another.
-
Allow the glue to dry before you attached a hanging mechanism on the backside of the wreath.
